How to Increase the Size of the Eraser in MS Paint
The eraser tool in Microsoft Paint is useful for correcting mistakes and cutting out undesired elements of your image. Like the other tools, the eraser is selectable from the toolbar at the top of the program’s interface. By default, the size of the eraser is the same as the size of your previously used brush. Increase the size of the eraser by expanding the Size tool and zooming in on your image.
